When will they ever learn?

I was astounded to see that Jane Fonda is back in the eye of the shit-storm. For reasons that are not at all clear she?s gotten herself involved in the Israeli-Palestinian situation and had to endure a demonstration against herself. The Israeli demonstrators were calling her a Traitor and saying words to the affect that she betrayed America and now wants to betray Israel. As all this took place in Israel, I highly question her sanity and why she would want to go through the grinder all over again and put herself in such harm's way. I?m no big pal of Jane Fonda but for crying out loud, she?s well into her 60?s now and I?d just as soon she stand down and not get squashed like a bug by things she obviously knows nothing of.

At the same time I see that Sean Penn allowed himself to get duped by Saddam?s propaganda machine and regardless of any good intentions he may have, he just may catch the torch from Jane as she goes under the steam roller of the middle-east. What am I missing here? Do these people not understand that memories are long and that they bring nothing at all to the table of the human condition besides some alleged art form? Do they not understand that the game is played much differently over there and if they get in the middle of some wrong dynamics, they are going down regardless of any self-perception of importance and value? In terms of what they are getting themselves into, I have to assume they both have chilly room temperature IQ?s or are absolutely clueless beyond the lights, camera, and action deal. I?ll not worry about either one, but sometimes my need to understand crazy stuff gets me going.
